Buying e-bikes in Bangladesh

An e-bike, or pedelec, is a bicycle whose electric motor helps only while the rider pedals. Europe is the large market: a 2023 press report put European sales at 5.5 million in 2022, one bike in four. Bangladesh's export data does not show e-bikes on their own: they sit in a line that also holds motorcycles, so Roptan confirms each plant's e-bike build record per order.

The motor, battery and controller are normally imported, and each must match the reports that let the bike into your market. Roptan writes them into one brief for a verified e-bike manufacturer in Bangladesh, checks every report against the exact build and inspects the lot before it ships.

Kinds of e-bike

EU pedelecs (EPAC)

Motor up to 250 W maximum continuous rated power, assistance that stops when pedalling stops and cuts out before 25 km/h. In the EU these need no vehicle type approval.

Speed pedelecs

Faster or stronger bikes outside the 250 W and 25 km/h limits. In several countries they are usually treated like mopeds, with licence, registration or type approval duties, so check the market first.

Hub motor e-bikes

A brushless motor in the front or rear hub, the most common layout. It leaves the bike's drivetrain unchanged and keeps the build simple.

Mid-drive e-bikes

The motor sits at the cranks and drives through the chain, so it uses the rear gears. Name it before the frame drawing is made.

Electric mountain bikes

Built to EN 17404:2022, which adds mountain bike requirements to EN 15194. Name it on the brief so the lab tests the right scope.

How to specify an e-bike

Motor: Hub or mid-drive, rated power and assist cut-off speed for your market. For an EU pedelec, 250 W continuous and 25 km/h.
Sensor and assist: Cadence, torque or both, and the number of assist levels. Torque sensors usually give smoother power delivery.
Battery: Chemistry, cell origin, pack capacity in Wh and the battery management system. LFP cells are usually described as thermally safer.
Voltage and charger: State 36 V or 48 V and the charger's input and plug. EN 15194 covers systems up to 48 V d.c. with a 230 V a.c. charger.
Heat and humidity: Summer maxima in Bangladesh usually reach 38 to 41 C. Write sealing of the battery and controller, cable glands, connector protection and charging temperature into the order.

E-bike standards and battery rules

EN 15194:2017+A1:2023: The EU standard for EPACs, including power management and electrical circuits with charging. It replaced the 2017 edition in September 2023; ask for a report to the amended edition.
EN 50604-1: Covers removable lithium-ion packs for light electric vehicles, e-bikes included. A 2025 consolidated edition exists, so ask which edition the report uses.
Regulation (EU) 2023/1542: E-bike packs are light means of transport batteries under the EU Batteries Regulation, which applies from 18 February 2024; removability and replaceability rules apply from 18 February 2027.
US 16 CFR 1512: Counts an e-bike as a bicycle when it has working pedals, a motor under 750 W and under 20 mph on motor power alone; it then takes the same brake, frame and reflector rules.

What moves the price of an e-bike

Motor: hub or mid-drive position, and the rated power the market allows.
Sensor: torque sensing or cadence sensing, and the number of assist levels.
Battery: pack capacity in Wh, cell chemistry and where the cells are made.
Controller and display: the features you ask for, plus connector quality and sealing.
Market reports: EN 15194 and battery reports for the EU, or US reports, per model.

Lead times and delivery

Time depends mostly on the electric system: motors, batteries and controllers are booked from abroad, and a change of cell or motor usually means new reports. New frames, custom colours and failed tests add time. Roptan confirms the sample and bulk dates, and any minimum order, in the quote.

Inside Bangladesh we deliver e-bikes boxed or assembled to dealers, fleets and company buyers, with battery serial numbers listed against frame numbers. Ask for a charger that suits local sockets. You receive the owner's manual with charging instructions, the inspection report and a VAT invoice (Mushak 6.3).

Buying e-bikes for export

E-bikes sit under HS 8711.60, cycles with an electric motor, which has a sub-line for pedal-assist bikes up to 250 W. Roptan quotes FOB Chattogram. The EU keeps duties on e-bikes from China and does not name Bangladesh, but ask where the frame, motor and battery are made and confirm duty with a customs adviser. Origin rules for any duty preference are confirmed for your destination before you order.

What we check for this order

Reports match the buildWe check that motor, battery pack, charger and controller models on the bikes are the ones named in the test reports.
Assist behaviourOn sampled bikes we check that assistance stops when pedalling stops and cuts out at the set speed.
Battery and wiringWe check pack labels for voltage and Wh, connector sealing, cable routing and that chargers suit the destination.
Final inspectionWe inspect a sample of the lot to ISO 2859-1, with defect classes and limits agreed with you before production.

Questions buyers ask

Can a 350 W motor be sold as a pedelec in the EU?

Not under the pedelec exemption. It covers motors up to 250 W maximum continuous rated power with assistance cut off before 25 km/h. Above that, the bike is outside the exemption and usually needs approval as a moped, so choose the motor for the market.

Hub motor or mid-drive?

Hub motors are the most common layout and leave the drivetrain as it is. A mid-drive sits at the cranks and drives through the chain and rear gears. Decide this first, since it sets price, handling and servicing, and the frame drawing follows from it.

Is a 52 V battery covered by EN 15194?

No. EN 15194 is written for systems up to and including 48 V d.c., or with an integrated charger on a nominal 230 V a.c. input. A higher-voltage system falls outside its scope, so ask the lab which rules would apply.

What changes for the US market?

Under 750 W and 20 mph on motor power alone, the e-bike counts as a bicycle under 16 CFR 1512. In June 2026 the CPSC proposed a mandatory standard for micromobility lithium-ion batteries based on UL 2849; it was still a proposal in October 2026, so ask the lab for the current position. Speed classes are usually set by state law, not by the CPSC.

How soon will I hear back about bicycles?

Within 48 hours of a complete requirement, with a price and a delivery date. A requirement is complete when it has the quantity, where it is needed and by when.

Who do I deal with?

With Roptan, when Roptan manages the order: we buy from the verified seller and deliver to you. With the supplier directly, when you post on the requirement board and choose a quote yourself.
